We decided to take one last trip before the baby comes next month. N8 and the kids hadn't seen my parents (in person thanks to Skype!) for over a year and a half. So we made the trek over to Phoenix. Who knew it could be even hotter than Ridgecrest! Seriously, it was HOT! But we had a great visit. Here's a little recap.
N8 and my dad took the kids on a very brief hike. It would have been much longer, but Emma had a tummy ache. While they were out the kids got to see a saguaro cactus up close and personal:
Thanks to my parents next door neighbors N8 and my dad took the kids swimming. I watched and my mom thought about getting in, but decided to enjoy watching too!
The kids spent enough time to turn into raisins!
On Saturday N8 and my dad took Bud and Emma to a Diamondbacks game. The Oscar Meyer Wiener truck was there:
This was their first MLB experience. Too bad the D-backs have the worst record right now and lost the game 1-14! They still had a great time snacking on popcorn, peanuts and candy corn. After the game they did a big fireworks show as well!
This was my moms good week. She has her next round of chemo next week. So she felt up to going to sacrament meeting. This was her first time wearing her wig. It looks great!
We decided to sneak some sparklers into the state so the kids could have their own fireworks experience. It took them a bit to get used to idea.
My mom helped Bud and Emma with theirs by having them conduct hymns.
Mo and my dad preferred to just watch.
This was as close as Mo would get, doesn't he look thrilled :)!
It was a great visit. We got in some great time visiting, some shopping and some relaxing.
Happy 4th of July!
